Atalanta had finally decided to rejoin the world of reality. She'd spent the past few weeks wandering the forests, trapped in her mind somewhere between the Calydonian Boar Hunt and the voyages of the Argo. She missed glory, she missed honor, and most of all she missed Artemis and being one of those dedicated to the goddess. Yes, it was true that many of her lifetimes since then had been dedicated in complete devotion to her, but the one that really counted had not been.
Instead, there had been that lousy, cheating snake who had tricked her into marrying him. Who had raped her in the Temple -after- she'd already done the noble thing and given him a son. A son she'd now never met.
But none of that mattered here. Out in the woods, she could forget about everything, go back to days even before the Boar hunt, before her father found her. Days when it was just herself and the spirit of the Goddess running through the forest, hunting, surviving.
Still, eventually the loneliness got the best of her, and Atalanta felt herself unable to continue being 'lost'. This is when she headed towards 'civilization' again. She rented a hotel room in California, cleaned herself up (Achilles no doubt would have been shocked and a bit disgusted by the dirt and leaves she'd caked on during her time away), and went to find her friend.
